[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea's presidential candidate, visited Jeju on the 7th, two days before the 20th presidential election, and launched an all-out effort to rally last-minute votes.


On the morning of the same day, Lee said at Tamna Culture Square in Jeju, "We will pilot the introduction of a sunlight and wind pension that guarantees the basic income of our Jeju residents through Jeju's sunlight and wind," launching a large-scale campaign.


He continued, "In past presidential elections, whoever won in Jeju always won overall," and said, "Please firmly choose Lee Jae-myung in Jeju so that your future can move toward a better world by yourselves."


He also emphasized, "Jeju is a small island, but it is one of the 17 proud cities and provinces of the Republic of Korea," and added, "I came here spending a lot of time because Jeju must be respected. Please create 200,000 votes. I am confident you will really make that happen."


He also mentioned population issues, citing the case of Sinan County in Jeollanam-do.


Lee explained, "All islands are worried about extinction due to population outflow, but Sinan County's population is increasing," and said, "The Sinan County mayor created an ordinance to allow local residents to have shares by building solar power facilities and distributed the income generated from solar power to residents, which is the so-called sunlight pension I mentioned."


He added, "Jeju is a city of environment, peace, and human rights," emphasizing, "We must preserve the environment, improve the lives of residents, and create a Jeju without hatred and division, a Jeju of harmony and unity where incidents like the April 3rd tragedy never happen again."


He appealed, "On the 9th, the fate of our Jeju and the fate of this country will be decided," and said, "We must create together a peaceful world without war, hatred, conflict, and killing, toward integration and a happy future, not the past."


Meanwhile, starting with the Jeju campaign, Lee plans to meet voters in Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Chungbuk sequentially to carry out his final campaign schedule.
